Conventional heat-resistant tiles on spacecraft are held together by chemical binders - which can be destroyed by the high temperatures experienced on re-entry into the atmosphere - or with mechanical connections, which can lead to concentrations of stress in the structure. Estrin and co-workers made prototype 'blocks' from a polyester resin to show that they could be joined together using their geometry alone. The concave parts of one block are interlocked with the convex parts of other blocks and vice versa.
Each block is held in place by six neighbours, which means that it is unable to move. In mechanical tests the researchers confirmed that structures made from the blocks remained intact even after some of the blocks had been removed. Moreover, cracks cannot spread from one block to another because there are no 'bridges' in the form of adhesive or mechanical connections holding them together.
"In a patented work we suggested producing assemblies of interlocked elements not by manufacturing the elements one by one and then stacking them together, but by growing the entire structure layer-by-layer," Estrin told PhysicsWeb. "In addition to spacecraft applications, such structures could be used in buildings in earthquake risk areas, architectural design, sound insulation and mortar-free masonry - particularly in extra-terrestrial constructions."

This classification aids search and rescue managers in ordering resources for search and rescue incidents and to aid dog handlers in communicating the types of tasks for which they and their dogs have trained. This classification is intended as a supplement to the resource typing specifications of the Incident Command System and specifically as a means of typing search and rescue dog resources and is suitable for classifying dog resources for a wide variety of emergency management purposes including both search and rescue and law enforcement incidents. This classification does not attempt to put forth standards of performance or training for dogs or their handlers. Search and rescue dog under this classification is either Type I or Type II, based upon whether or not the dog can effectively discriminate between the human scent of different individuals. Kind classifications of SAR dog resources are based upon the specific tasks for which dogs are deployed and include: Kind A, area search dog; Kind B, avalanche search dog; Kind C, cadaver search dog; Kind D, disaster/collapsed structure search dog; Kind E, evidence search dog; Kind F, railing search dog; Kind G, tracking search dog; and Kind H, water search.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -Thomas Vanek celebrated after helping the Buffalo Sabres end their three-game losing streak, and then paid tribute to Boston Bruins rookie Phil Kessel.
Brian Campbell and Maxim Afinogenov scored 4 minutes apart in the third period to help the Sabres beat the Bruins 6-3 Wednesday night to snap a season-worst 0-2-1 skid. Daniel Paille scored twice, including an empty-netter in the final minute, while Vanek and Derek Roy also scored as Buffalo also ended a three-game home losing skid.
Kessel, playing in his fifth game back after having surgery for testicular cancer, had a career-best two goals in his first multipoint game.
"It's remarkable," Vanek said of his fellow University of Minnesota alum. "Seeing him out there and scoring those goals, being happy again for being part of the team. It makes everyone happy."
The Sabres victory didn't entirely overshadow the magnitude of Kessel's outing. The 2006 first-round draft pick, who missed 11 games and had not produced a point since he returned, declined to talk to reporters afterward. However, his teammates and coach Dave Lewis were certainly excited.
"It's nice to see him rewarded for what he's gone through," Lewis said. "It's probably his best game since coming back."
Kessel, who now has seven goals this season, appeared destined to be the game's star. He opened the scoring with a breakaway goal 10 minutes in and then tied the score at 3 in the opening minute of the third period, when he one-timed in Marc Savard's cross-ice pass.
The Eastern Conference-leading Sabres (32-11-4), however, responded by capping their best offensive outing in 11 games - dating to a 6-3 win over Washington on Dec. 26. It also made up for Buffalo squandering a 2-1 lead in a 3-2 shootout loss at Boston on Monday.
Campbell put the Sabres up 4-3 with 9:55 remaining, when his rising shot from the right point appeared to deflect off someone in front.
Afinogenov then sealed it 3:39 later, by finishing a great individual effort when he streaked past defender Andrew Alberts at the Bruins' blue line, cut to the net and backhanded a shot in.
It was an important win for a Sabres team that was not accustomed to losing and was uncharacteristically sloppy of late.
"We need that win. It was nice to get," Campbell said. "It's getting back to normal, but it's not where we need to be yet."
Goalie Ryan Miller stopped 25 shots, his best save coming with 8 minutes left when he kicked out his right pad to stop Brad Stuart's blast from the right circle.
Sabres coach Lindy Ruff remained cautious, noting his team still has two games left, including a home contest against Vancouver on Friday, before opening a five-day All-Star Game break on Sunday.
Asked if the slump's over, Ruff replied with a wink: "I'll tell you on Friday."
Glen Murray also scored for the Bruins, who dropped to 2-6-1 in the last nine games and have lost five straight on the road - the team's worst stretch since going 0-5 in the final month of last season.
"We had our chances, especially early," Savard said. "I thought we had good momentum but we couldn't capitalize on it."
As for Kessel's outing, Savard smiled.
"It's great," Savard said. "Hopefully, he can roll it over with a couple of big games."
Notes: Boston was without C Wayne Primeau, who hurt his shoulder against the Sabres on Monday. D Bobby Allen, called up from AHL Providence on Tuesday, made his Bruins debut while playing only his second NHL game, and first since Dec. 31, 2002, when he was with Edmonton. ... Sabres LW Jochen Hecht, out for at least a week, missed his first game since sustaining a lower body injury on Monday. ... Sabres co-captain Daniel Briere had two assists to give him a single-season career high 38.

Iggy is one of my favorite rockers of all time and is undoubtedly the godfather of punk. Iggy grew up outside of Detroit and got the name "Iggy" because he played drums in a high school band called The Iguanas. Iggy formed the Stooges around 1967 and released 2 great records, their self-titled 1969 debut, and Funhouse in 1970, on Elektra Records, who had recently seen great success with The Doors, and were eager to sign high energy rock acts. The two Elektra albums were commercial failures but attracted a small but passionate following including burgeoning Glam star David Bowie. When the Stooges were dropped, Bowie helped get them signed to Sony Records for whom they put out Raw Power adapting their name to "Iggy and the Stooges" because Bowie was primarily interested in Iggy. Though now seen as an influential classic, Raw Power was a commercial failure as well, and the band imploded around 1974. Iggy dealt with drug addiction issues for the next few years, but maintained his friendship with Bowie. In 1977 Iggy and Bowie collaborated in Berlin on a pair of Iggy's albums, The Idiot and Lust For Life, yielding songs like "Nightclubbing", "China Girl", "Lust For Life", and "The Passenger". To me, these two albums represent a creative high point for Iggy, and though I love Iggy's Stooges material, I think the Berlin albums don't get the love they deserve because they don't fit a genre archetype the way the Stooges records set the template for punk. This poster was created from the canvas I painted of Iggy based on a Berlin era 1977 photo taken by Ed Perlstein. I think the image captures Iggy's intensity, which has remained undiminished, and his trademark, even as he has matured. Iggy has done great material since 77/78 including collabs with Steve Jones, and the Teddybears, but I think this poster may reflect Iggy at the peak of his powers. For a good career overview get the two disc "A Million in Prizes" or just pick up all the Stooges records and the two Berlin records.
Check out this interview between myself and Iggy Pop for Interview magazine. It highlights our conversation that lasted about an hour and a half. http://www.interviewmagazine.com/art/shepard-fairey/
We are hoping to get the full transcript from Interview soon.

Jos. A. Bank Clothiers finally liked the look of Men's Wearhouse's takeover offer as the Hampstead-based retailer accepted a $1.8 billion buyout Tuesday.
The deal would pay Bank's stockholders $65 a share cash, $10 more than Men's Wearhouse initially offered in November, but their gain could mean more job losses in Maryland, where Bank traces its roots to 1905.
The combination of the nation's two biggest men's apparel specialty chains would create a $3.5 billion retail powerhouse with 1,700 stores across the United States and about 23,000 employees that analysts said could compete better with department stores and online sellers.
Men's Wearhouse said it would keep the Jos. A. Bank brand, and Bank terminated its recent agreement to acquire outdoor apparel retailer Eddie Bauer.
The deal ends months of acrimonious tug of war between the two rivals that started when Bank made a surprise $2.3 billion offer to buy Houston-based Men's Wearhouse in September. Spurning Bank's overtures, Men's Wearhouse turned the tables and moved to buy Bank in a series of bids that turned hostile in January.
Leaders of both companies struck much friendlier tones Tuesday after their boards of directors approved the transaction.
Men's Wearhouse CEO Doug Ewert said his chain has "great respect for the Jos. A. Bank management team and is eager to work with Jos. A. Bank's talented employees. Together, Men's Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank will have increased scale and breadth, and Jos. A. Bank's strong brand and complementary business model will broaden our customer reach."
Bank Chairman Robert N. Wildrick said the retailer's board has been focused on finding a strategic alternative that would maximize value for shareholders.
"The transaction we are announcing today clearly reflects the success of our efforts, providing a substantial premium over any price at which our stock has ever traded," Wildrick said.
Bank's shares rose nearly 4 percent Tuesday, closing at $64.22.
While the higher price is a boon to shareholders, it will bring increased pressure to trim expenses, said Steven Isberg, a finance professor at the University of Baltimore's Merrick School of Business.
"This is a much higher price than originally talked about, and they will not make it back through revenue enhancements," he said.
Isberg said all business processes will be on the table for being eliminated, from back-office operations to the supply chain, including reducing the number of distribution faculties.
"To generate the value they're paying, they're going to have to create some significant cost reductions, more significant than the earlier proposal," he said.
The companies expect expense savings of $100 million to $150 million over three years. The savings are expected to come from more efficient merchandise buying, improved customer service and marketing, and streamlining of corporate functions, they said.
Jos. A. Bank employs about 780 people in Carroll County between its headquarters and three distribution centers, making it the county's fourth-largest employer behind the school system and two hospitals.
It could be months before any decisions are made about the fate of those facilities. Any big changes would be unlikely before the deal closes, which is expected by the third quarter, analysts said.
State economic development officials said Tuesday that it is too early to know how the acquisition might impact Maryland jobs.
"We are hopeful that it will not have an impact and that those jobs will remain in Maryland," said Karen Glenn Hood, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Business and Economic Development. "We just don't have those details."
Consumers probably won't see significant changes.

My official chase begins. NBA 50 greatest players
I took a whole bunch of time out of the hobby when I realized by collection was going nowhere. Back now and going to start a new chase of trying to get the 50 greatest players autos. I will be slightly picky about what I do take. I am looking for low #'d Auto's that are graded. I don't have an exact number but would like #'d/15 or less for guys that are reasonable to do that with. Will also consider cards not as low numbered if they are PSA 10's or Beckett 9.5 and some 9's. Will list all the guys I need and take them away when I get them once I start getting a few. As of right now I need everyone lol I Am looking to pay below ebay though since this will be a costly chase!

eBay sellers beware, I will leave you a neutral if you don't at least include a toploader when shipping a card. Feel free to block me if you don't ship with a toploader or secured card holder. That is all. High-End Bucket: http://s1135.photobucket.com/albums/m627/AvenOZ/High-End%20and%20HTG/ |

sesmarine that Kobe/T-mac dual auto is one of the sickest cards I have ever seen lol somehow I looked at that card for like 20 minutes instead of trying to find what I was even looking for. Some of those auto's in there were nasty also. Loved the Walton/Miller alumni association.

This question is for anyone who has ever tried doing this chase or may know but on the Paul Arizin auto I picked up it wasn't #'d. Never seen one that was #'d low. I know his auto's don't surface all that often and are kinda rare so I picked it up on the bay in a best offer type situation. Has anyone ever seen an Arizin auto that was #'d 15 or below? I figured his may be one where you kinda just take it as you find it for a decent price. Thanks for any help! |

looking still. Changed what I am looking for slightly! Only 2 I have that fit the requirements are Jerry West and Bob Cousy. Still need the other 48 guys!
#'d/15 or less/ Graded 9.0 or higher. Preferably 9.5 or higher, but certain 9's would do. PSA or Beckett 10's for anything not numbered or higher then 15. Certain 9.5's may also be ok. Exceptions will be made for Jordan, Wilt, Maravich, etc. |

It will be hard to get, but there is a chance I can trade my Arizin cut auto 2/2. I can get you a scan if interested. It's not graded since it came out of the Leaf Cut Signature boxes, but it is in the BGS case. Let me know if you're interested man.

I would definitely be interested in that hotbox. I will send u a PM and we can try to work something out! Being in the BGS case would display nicely and is so low that grading isn't important!
I would like to add that any of those low #'d signature cuts in the BGS holders, 1/1's of all kinds that aren't printing plates, and even regular cards #'d/15 or less I may still be interested in. I don't want to limit this down so much that I can't ever find what I want and it takes me 5 years to complete this. If something catches my eye and I think will look good and go with the collection thats all I pretty much want! Graded cards will all look good together but I don't mind if they aren't all because I know for a fact whenever I get a Maravich or Wilt it will be plain autos of them because I really can't afford to go all out on theirs. I will probably just grade them later and take whatever grade those certain guys come out with. IF a card is in really good shape and fits the requirements but just isn't graded yet I don't mind buying it and having it graded along with those also. I am not an expert on grading but I am looking for something that will come in at least a BGS 9. I enjoy looking at everything that everyone has, can't promise a deal but I will get back to everyone at the very least! |

The Heart & Soul of Parenting
"And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children…"
Deuteronomy 6:6-7
Ladies, I hope you won't think I'm bragging here, but I think there's something you should know about me. I've got this parenting thing figured out. Yes, indeed. I thought it was time I revealed this little detail about myself. Honestly, I can't figure out why everybody makes such a big deal out of it. What's so hard? I mean, you feed them, clothe them, keep 'em clean, and when they're bad, you discipline them. Piece of cake. The people that say no one is a perfect parent have yet to see me in action.
Ok, before I provoke you any further, I think you should know why I'm so terribly confident in my parenting skills. I don't have any children yet. :) Sorry, mommies, I was just kidding with you. But you can relate, can't you? Parenting seems like such a simple task when you don't actually have the responsibility of doing it, right? Somehow, parenting becomes much more complicated when children are introduced into the picture…at least, that's what I hear.
Although I don't yet have children, by God's grace, one day I will. When that day comes, I want to be as prepared as I can be to train my children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. As a Christian mom, my goal will be to raise children who love the Lord their God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. But I'm also aware that ultimately I won't be able to change my children's hearts; only God can do that. Nevertheless, I want to do my best through Christ's strength to introduce my children to the One Who can change their hearts, and I'll have to learn to trust Him to take care of the rest. The good news is that in addition to His Word, God has also provided us with some excellent biblically-based resources to help us as we seek to become moms who aren't perfect, but who are pleasing in His sight.
If you aren't familiar with Tedd Tripp's books, I really think you'll benefit from the teaching they contain. Tedd Tripp, brother to Paul David Tripp, wrote a book called Shepherding a Child's Heart about 15 years ago that every Christian parent should read. I'm not exaggerating; they should. Even if they can't read, they should learn how, just so they can read this book. Yes, it is that good. ;) Tripp's approach to parenting is deeply grounded in biblical truth. Instead of seeking only to alter a child's behavior, Tripp encourages parents to aim for the heart, because our hearts motivate our behavior (Luke 6:43-45; Mark 7:21-23). While externally-enforced conformity is often temporary, changed hearts lead to changes in action that last. In contrast, when parents seek primarily to change their children's behavior and neglect to focus on heart change, they will often end up raising either little legalists or little rebels. I love this quote from the book:
When we miss the heart, we miss the glory of God…Children are spring-loaded for worship. One of the most important callings God has given parents is to display the greatness, goodness, and glory of the God for whom they are made. Parents have the opportunity, through word and deed, to show children the one true object of worship–the God of the Bible. We know that the greatest delights our children can ever experience are found in delighting in the God who has made them for his glory. (p. xii)
In 2008, Tripp and his wife Margy released Instructing a Child's Heart, which builds upon the principles taught in the first book. In the following video clips, the author explains the biblical concepts which underlie his books. I think you'll enjoy hearing his perspective on the high calling of parenthood.
Also available: A 13-part teaching series on DVD based on the material of Instructing a Child's Heart, which would work well in a church or small-group setting.
If you've read one or both of Tedd Tripp's books on parenting, I'd love to hear you share your thoughts on how his teaching affected your parenting. Did it change the way you dealt with your children? Have you seen any positive results from applying these principles?

Title: | Bamboo trade and future prospects in the Central Himalaya : A case study of the traditional artisans of Uttarakhand, India |
Author: | Sundriyal, Manju; Sundriyal RC |
Date: | 2011 |
Publisher: | Botany Department, University of Hawaii at Manoa |
Citation: | Sundriyal M, Sundriyal RC. 2011. Bamboo trade and future prospects in the Central Himalaya: A case study of the traditional artisans of Uttarakhand, India. Ethnobotany Research & Applications 9: 445-454. |
Abstract: | In India bamboo is valuable in the rural livelihoods. However, despite improvement efforts the conditions of bamboo resources and traditional artisans have been deteriorating over the years. To improvise the socio-economic status of the artisans, different state governments are looking for information on the resource as well as artisans' skills so that necessary amendments could be accomplished in government policies and programs to develop this sector as an important vehicle for rural development. This article is based on an investigation that was conducted in Uttarakhand state, India using questionnaires. We report on bamboo species being used, indigenous knowledge of articles made from bamboo, resource utilization patterns, and management status of bamboo in Uttarakhand state. The paper also discusses major bottlenecks of the trade along with the potential interventions that could be used to enhance bamboo-based livelihoods in the region. |

Process for advising
All the members of the Department of Political Science at UW Oshkosh are devoted to ensuring that students have a positive, productive, and empowering experience in their time with us. To that end, we encourage students to seek the advice of faculty members and the Academic Department Associate early and often.
Professors are available for advising sessions during office hours or at other times by appointment, but here are some general rules about working your way through the major and tips that you might find useful. There are four main divisions of Political Science: American Politics, Comparative Politics, International Relations and Political Theory.
Majors must take an introductory course in each of the first three areas and a 300 level course in all four areas. Majors must also take Political Methodology (PS 245) and our Senior Capstone course (PS 401). That accounts for a total of 27 credits, as each course counts for three credits. Then all you need is three more courses to round out the major, two of which must be at the 300 level.
Keep the following general advice in mind:
- get to know your professors; in political science we strive to be approachable and helpful
- ideally all 100 level classes should be completed in the early years of your major
- take 245 before you take most of your 300 level classes; as you should find it helpful
- take a variety of professors; be thirsty for knowledge in all areas
- save papers with comments - you will want some to include in your Political Science 401 portfolio
